Ernie, I don't know what Cat recommends as a additive for its engines, as I have noted a lot of FC's have these. I see that you have a 6V92. I do know this, Detroit Diesel does not recommend any additive to fuel for its 2 stroke engines. There will be a lighter mix of no.1 and no.2 fuel where you are at now, to deter gelling.The colder the climate the more they add. In Alaska, its much thinner than in Tx. or N.C. for instance. They also do not recommend muti-wgt oils for 2 strokes. I have a 8V71 and use straight 40 wgt here in N.C. As you are now in a colder climate, you should use straight 30 wgt., which is what we used in all DD's while I was stationed in Mass. You can google the DD site, and wade thru all the info., to learn more about these fine old engines. Stay Warm. George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte ----- Original Message ----- From: ernieekberg@...
